Why can't liquid boil at a low pressure?
Liquids can boil at low pressure, and in fact do so at lower temperatures than when the pressure is high.
Does water boil in a vacuum?
YesThis is because boiling is caused by the liquid water turning to gas which is not influenced directly by other materials. However, once in a vacuum the pressure is so low that the water will boil at much lower temperatures.
Will 2 degree water at 300 psi boil if the pressure is released?
Since the triple point of water is at 0.01 °C you could certainly boil water if you released the pressure and allowed it to drop low enough. In this case "low enough" would be down around 10 mbar (0.01 bar).
With regard to the effects of pressure on boiling point the change of state from a gas to a liquid is?
the point at which a liquid starts to 2 boil is defined by when the pressure inside the liquid is equal to the atmospheric pressure. so the higher the altitude the lower the pressure, which means the temperature at which the liquid will start 2 boil will b lower. this applies for when a gas goes to a liquid as well
What can a boil be defined as?
Boiling, a type of phase transition, is the rapid vaporization of a liquid, which typically occurs when a liquid is heated to its boiling point, the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid is equal to the pressure exerted on the liquid by the surrounding environmental pressure.
Why can't liquid boil at a low pressure?
Liquids can boil at low pressure, and in fact do so at lower temperatures than when the pressure is high.
At what point, in terms of vapor pressure, will a liquid boil?
A liquid will boil when its vapor pressure equals the atmospheric pressure.
Why can liquid boil at a low pressure?
Reducing the air pressure allows the molecules to escape
What two factors determine the point at which a liquid will boil?
Heat or energy applied and atmosphereic pressuresPressure and temperature (apex)
How can you make a liquid boil without raising its temperature?
Reduce the surrounding pressure. Lowering the pressure on a liquid reduces its boiling point, causing it to boil at a lower temperature.
When the vapor pressure of a liquid is equal to the atmospheric pressure the liquid .?
it begins to boil - Monsy
What condition must exist for a liquid to boil?
For a liquid to boil, its vapor pressure must equal or surpass the pressure exerted on it by the surrounding environment. This typically occurs when the liquid reaches its boiling point, at which temperature its vapor pressure matches the surrounding pressure, causing bubbles of vapor to form within the liquid.
How does a pulse glass work?
The pulse glass contains a volatile liquid and vapor at low pressure. Warm one bulb in your hand and the increased vapor pressure will force the liquid into the other bulb and appear to boil.
What two factors determine the point at wich a liquid will boil?
The nature of the liquid and the pressure.
Why does lowering pressure cause a liquid to boil?
it becomes easier for the molecules to escape
What will happen if you increase both the pressure and temperature of a liquid?
It will boil
Does water boil in a vacuum?
YesThis is because boiling is caused by the liquid water turning to gas which is not influenced directly by other materials. However, once in a vacuum the pressure is so low that the water will boil at much lower temperatures.
